Facilitation

We are masters of collaboration, working with groups, and bringing people to consensus.

We have facilitated and supported ongoing working groups of people in management and operational roles across the country, using in person meetings and via conferencing, supported by online document sharing, website action registers, e-mail discussion lists, and other mechanisms.

We have assembled panels of industy experts to identify best practices, develop positions, and formulate approaches, including development of a major transformational policy proposal for a National Employment Investment Policy. We shared documents online.

We have assembled groups of facilitators with domain specialties such as acquisition / procurement and healthcare, for diverse groups of participants.

We have planned and facilitated a Beneficiary Summit representing diversity of age, race, gender, and disability from every state and territory, and brought them to consensus on their recommendations to Congress, the Social Security Administration. We used online action planning tools as well as conferencing.

We planned the first JoomlaDay in the Washington, DC area, working with a group of Joomla! experts who for the most part had not planned such a conference before. We used collaboration tools such as Google Docs and Project Fork to share planning documents and milestones in real time and virtual space. We used Google Forms to virtually instantaneously develop and share a survey of participants, collecting their responses into a Google Docs spreadsheet we shared.

What People Say

Business Process Analysis

“I"ve worked with Dorothy on a variety of projects in which her ability to conduct in-depth, detailed analysis allowed us to place strong confidence in the reliability of work results. She quickly gained in-depth knowledge of complex business processes, IT systems, and strategic objectives to provide analysis and recommendations. Excellent work results, on-time with quality products were always a given with Dorothy on-board.”
